No, not at all. I realized far back in this thread that I can develop in D 
as I do now in C++ (header files come first). The thread went on with people 
trying to convince me how wrong that process is (?).

I've noted in a previous thread that actual coding (header or source file) 
is not the first step in my process. The source code isn't even the 
important part, though perhaps the most pesky part.
